There is a report revealing how top Nigerian government officials and security personnel were involved in oil theft and illegal oil bunkering in the Niger Delta region.The illegal activities have also affected monthly revenue remittance to the federation account.Stolen Oil” was published in 2013 by Christina Katsouris and Aaron Sayne.It read, “Illegal bunkering of Nigerian crude oil probably started in the late 1970s or early 1980s, when the country was under military rule.
A typical briefcase company is owned by one or more private individuals acting as a ‘front’ for top political office-holders and power-brokers. Traders and refiners say they receive regular calls from little-known Nigerians offering oil, often on suspect terms. A growing number appear to be businessmen and elites from the Niger Delta. Seasoned buyers spot most such offers as ‘419’, the work of advance fee fraudsters. But at least some of the middlemen have real oil to sell.
do your job as an investigating journalist, dont only come out with headlines, bring out names sahara reporter
Top 20 positions in NNPC are all head by Fulani, Hausa and Kanuri. You'll then understand the big heads behind oil stealing in Nigeria and where they all come from. Before I forget the chairman also a Fulani is the Minister of Petroleum.
ItsTheLazyChef If you don't know this then you know nothing
Nawaa oo
Not surprised at all
This is no news, it has become a system for government officials to be involved in stealing public funds or properties. And they call it share of the National cake. Sad indeed!
Their names should be published and jailed for life.
No one else could be involved besides them. That's why they blew up a multi bilion Naira tanker with product and all available evidence to evade prosecution. Now the House of Reps have nothing to work on. No evidence, unless you call in Scotland Yard or the CIA.
We may like to know their names not going round and round
Cry my beloved country.The seed yams of the future generations are being eaten by the elders.The youths have the opportunity to ask questions with their PVC come 2023 as those in authority are shying away from their responsibilities
I already know
Who's the petroleum minister?
Shame on you, una no fit do investigative journalism to fish out the said person. Na to dey instigate the masses. Do your job. As u tell us this one now, wetin make we come do?
Expose them let the world see them

Nigeria 🇳🇬 government is a fraud
And Peter Obi said this before
Mr president is number among dem
As expected
Yes that's what they have been doing since all this why
Yet, under this Buhari's regime, they're above the law!
How else do you think they where able to get 100million for the presidential tickets
Where is the petroleum minister?
They still have their job They're still there going freely and no one had listed their names to start returning the whole money being stolen
why I'm I not surprised?
Fulanis knows that their time is off so they are taking what will sustain them when they finally loose BIAFRA land to Mazi Nnamdi kanu.
We all know these all along. Tell us what we don’t know yet 😡😡😡
Don't they have names 🤔

But they wanted to arrest Peter Obi for saying Government officials are participants of oil thefts
Not the 'KPO FIRE' Oil rats but pipelines bunkering by the big shots in government.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 needs cleansing from corruption. Corruption has eaten deep that u wonder, who actually created us P. Obi exposed many things and they will fight everything not to allow him serve us. But let’s vote 🗳 wisely, else If we don’t vote 🗳 wisely in 2023, it will be a pity
Expose them please
Publish their names ozigbo
Here's the only thing keeping the expired country as One
Ino dey ever believe in this Sahara

This is a known fact
Meanwhile yahoo boys are their problem
karlheinzbergem So that person doesn’t have a name
Buhari is minister of Petroleum....he is the director of the thriving team. Thiefnubu is envious and wants to get in, that's why even on the sick bed, he was still murmuring 'EMI lo corn'
Same with boko-harram,kidnapping,yahoo every other vices trending in Nigeria
No bi today. Maybe na now Nigerians eyes dey open
Name and arrest the thieves!
AGreaterNigeria SERAPNigeria HouseNGR IntlCrimCourt this calls for impeachment as the president n minister of crude theft. The entitlement after leaving office as president should be denied..
That is obvious
Give us name abeg.

Nigerians aren't surprised that this is happening. We are only waiting quietly for Peter Obi to become the next President of Nigeria to end all these mess.
Nothing NEW in the NEWS
Tell us something we don't know.
Wonder shall never end
They should name them and prosecute them...
KelechiPhD I’ve always wondered how they got their equipments to such remote site, some of these pipe had to be dug out, sure excavators did that or humans? If humans, na local people, sure these thief’s won’t be that sloppy. Question remains how did it happen
The main thieves are being guided by security operatives, while D petty thieves and innocent ones kept in prison for stealing agbado or for phone Oil thieves are like terrorism sponsors U will never hear anything about it again, those who are supposed to catch thieves are thieves
_CodeBank We know.
We know just waiting for when they will be named, shamed, arrested, prosecuted and jailed
We knew,that is why last week Nig, military burn down vessel to inorder cover big names from exposing.
Arrested persons must be allowed freedom to tell Nigerians all they know about the oil theft and their level of involvement in the matter and also free to name their associates and sponsors.
The Nigerian maritime and security operative are the one to be blame this oil theft is happening for more than a decade and yet they could not prosecute a single person for this deadly act against our economy because those that are in the business are too strong to be charge
They are ghosts, no name
This is not a News,bcs No poor person could have the capability and capacity for oil thefts. Now that truth is out, who will do the prospection, definitely not in Nigeria,where the rich/influential are above the law.
Before nko na them nah
They suddenly don’t have names
Na today, especially those civil defence and naval officers
Name them?
Before nko. You think we are foolish
This report is telling us something new? I don't think.
Boko Haram/insecurity is least of problems. Obi rightly said that the corruption is directly proportional to insecurity.
